      It's not sane to be content programming apps for the almighty dollar... you're not doing anything worthwhile or meaningful.

        I'm writing software that's used in over four million classrooms worldwide on a daily basis (and growing fast). It helps kids learn, which has been scientifically proven.

        It's so effective the UK has actually mandated that it be installed in every UK classroom ASAP. Already 97% of them have it...

        I think it's worthwhile. Certainly more worthwhile than shooting Iraqis.

        (The 4 million number doesn't include the insane amount of pirated copies the Chinese Government is installing in their schools...)

          Kuci would disagree about the bolded statement.

          • Kuci probably knows as much about education as he does the female anatomy.

            • I sure hope you know more about education than you do about female anatomy...

              • I know more than I would like to about the females.

                      I can understand it just fine. Whether I think it's a smart choice is just my opinion.

                      Not everyone can do the same job, I understand that.

                        Some people don't share your goals--you can't call the decisions "smart" or "stupid" simply based on whether they align with your idea of success.

                          Yes, I can, actually. In fact, I believe I did...

                          • Fortunately, HC, most of us share the same idea of success in a career: not getting killed, not having to kill people, getting paid enough to buy the things we need and hopefully the things we want.

                            Those are pretty common general standards of success. I think the US military doesn't hit any of them.

                            Other people could undoubtedly define success differently. They love killing people, they love the risk of getting killed, and they don't need money because they're going to just mooch off other people or scrape by on very little. If those are their standards for success in a career, I reserve the right to call them stupid.

                                They can live in the barracks, eat in the barracks, and have sex with the other soldiers. All their income goes to the bank account.
